PS series amplifiers offer extreme value and performance. Proper installation is essential for optimal performance and long-term reliability. Please read through this manual to familiarize yourself with your amplifier and its functions. Warranty Service If your Jensen amplifier should ever require service, you will need to have the original dated receipt. [. . . ] After the installation is complete, make sure the input level control on the amplifier is turned down all the way (counterclockwise or all the way to the left). Play a tape or CD (make sure bass and treble settings or EQ are flat) and turn the volume up slowly until you just start to hear distortion. On the amplifier, slowly turn up the input level control (clockwise or to the right) until you just start to hear distortion, then back it down a bit. Now your radio and amplifier levels are matched. Reconnect Battery When wiring is complete, reconnect the battery negative terminal. Test Power Wiring Turn on the receiver, but do not turn up the volume. The amplifier power light should come on. If not, check wiring connections at amplifier and speakers. Test Speaker Connections Bass Boost The Bass Boost is continuously adjustable from 0 to +18dB @ 45Hz. Adjusting the Bass Boost level allows different subwoofer/enclosure combinations to be equalized. Use this control to increase the level of low bass available from your subwoofer/enclosure combination. Ported and Band Pass enclosures should be limited to about +6db to +9dB of boost. Sealed enclosures should be able to accept the full +18dB of boost, if necessary. The full +18dB of boost should be reserved for special applications since misuse of the Bass Boost could damage your subwoofers at high volumes. These tests make sure the speakers are connected properly. If speakers don't play at all, one (or both) speaker wires may be disconnected. Low Pass Filter (LPF) The Low Pass Filter controls adjust the crossover point from 40Hz to 200Hz. Typical crossover is between 60Hz and 80Hz for ported and sealed enclosures. Bandpass boxes typically will use a higher crossover setting between 125Hz to 175Hz. Depending on your sub-woofer/box combination, the crossover may be set anywhere between 40Hz and 200Hz. Since musical tastes vary, you should play music that you will typically be listening to in your vehicle with the above settings as a starting point and, if necessary, set the crossover by ear.

Nivel de Entrada El control de nivel de entrada iguala la salida de su radio con la entrada del amplificador. Después que la instalación se complete, asegúrese de que el control de nivel de entrada en el amplificador esté girado completamente hacia la izquierda (en el sentido contrario a las agujas del reloj). Ponga un caset o CD (asegúrese que los controles de graves y agudos o EQ estén planos también) y suba el volumen lentamente hasta que apenas empiece a oír una distorsión.
